Divine Providence and Human Suffering

"The editors have gathered an impressive array of texts, drawn from sermons, letter, poems, theological treatises, dealing with the theological, spiritual and human dimensions of suffering. . . . I read the book with great interest, and others will, I am certain, find in it many rewarding passages that speak directly and profoundly to the trials of human life."  -  Robert L. Wilken, Religious Studies Review
